Mrs. Jennifer Costello

My name is Jennifer Costello and I’m a new arrival to the Raleigh area. I’ve taught for 18 years in New York and South Carolina and am so excited to be joining the fourth grade team!

In my free time, I love to read, cook, spend time at the beach, mountains or really any place outdoors, and watch sports, especially college basketball. Go Heels! I have one rambunctiously adorable Labrador named Tucker, who has become a wonderful running companion. My son is heading to high school this year and when he’s not rolling his eyes at his dad’s goofy jokes, he’s busy making me proud. I am looking forward to a wonderful year of learning and laughter here at Joyner!

Ms. Calla Sherrow

My name is Ms. Sherrow. I am a graduate of East Carolina University...Go Pirates! This is my 26th year teaching at Joyner and my 21st year coaching Cheerleading at Sanderson High School.  In my free time I enjoy shopping, walking, going to Carolina Hurricanes games, and spending time with my family and friends. I have a handsome Golden Retriever named Charlie that I love very much. I am probably best known around Joyner for my love of candy, bad eating habits, and being silly with Ms. Cameron. I love teaching at Joyner and look forward to a great year!

Ms. Elizabeth Stavrakakis

My name is Elizabeth Stavrakakis and I’m so excited to be teaching at J. Y. Joyner Magnet Elementary School for the third year! I have grown up in Wake County since I was in first grade and am a recent graduate of NC State, where I earned my B.S. in Elementary Education with a STEM concentration and a minor in psychology. I completed my student teaching at A. B. Combs Magnet Elementary School in fourth grade and I can’t wait to continue teaching fourth grade here. Outside of school, I love going to the beach any chance I get, trying out new recipes in the kitchen, and cheering on the Wolfpack. I’m looking forward to a great year!

Mrs. Jo Wallace

 
Unbelievably, I have now been at Joyner for 18 years! I have had the opportunity to teach in a variety of schools both here in the USA and in my home country of England. I love to read, travel and enjoy finding interesting bakeries! There are so many things that I could talk about to explain why I enjoy being a part of the Joyner family, it is hard to narrow them down! Probably the fact that I call my workplace a family is the main reason I love coming to work everyday! I love being in a school where not only am I allowed to be creative, but we as staff are encouraged to create learning environments where I can guide children to be independent problem solvers. This gives me daily reminders about why I chose to go into teaching and have stayed with something I not only love to do, but believe in.
